书籍简介

巴特勒圣战已经过去二十多年了。反对思考机器人的运动已经进行了多年，但瑟琳娜·巴特勒和伊尔比斯·金吉奥领导的力量只取得了微小的进展。人类世界逐渐厌倦了战争，厌倦了从胜利到失败的血腥而毫无结果的摇摆不定。

布赖恩·赫伯特和凯文·安德森凭借无与伦比的想象力登上了世界各地的畅销书排行榜，并赢得了全球读者的高度赞誉。

From New York Times bestselling authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, Dune: The Machine Crusade continues the fantastic saga of Frank Herbert's Dune. . .

More than two decades have passed since the events chronicled in Dune: The Butlerian Jihad. The crusade against thinking robots has ground on for years; the human worlds grow weary of war, of the bloody, inconclusive swing from victory to defeat.

The fearsome cymeks, led by Agamemnon, hatch new plots to regain their lost power from Omnius. Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva are on the verge of the most important discovery in human history--a way to "fold" space and travel instantaneously to any place in the galaxy.

And on the faraway, nearly worthless planet of Arrakis, Selim Wormrider and his band of outlaws take the first steps towards making themselves the feared fighters who will change the course of mankind: the Fremen.
